Bishop Lees Successor,

The letter of Rector" In the Every
Evening OF Tuesday last in speaking on the
question of Bishop Lees successor makes
some very good suggestions in support of
bis argument for the joining together of the
two diocsses Of Wilmington and Easton.
The letter is reproduced below. But
there may be oHe statement made at the
outset which must be considered as the
only basis upon which the majority of
EpiscopaliaDs in this diocese would enter
tain the question viz: that of making the
city of Wilmington, the cathedral see of
the joint diocese.
Editor, Erery Epening: Now that the
ware has been called to his rest and reward
the question arises. "What shall be done?
Who shall be his successor? The diocese
of Easton has been trying for year or
more past, but has failed to obtain sue
cessor to the late Bishop Lay. 1t seems to
me that neither the diocese of Easton MOI
that of Delaware is large enough to find
work to occupy the t me and energies of an
ible man nor strong enough properly to
sustain him, but that ii both of these do
ceses were united there would be SEQ,
enough for any bishop and pecuniary
strength enough to sustain him, and that
neither diocese might feel hurt by sacrificing
its name to the other, the new tdiocese
might be called the diocese of Wilmington
and there some future day a cathedral
might be erected. If this be not at present
practicable, the two bishopless dioceses, &C.
oording to canon Is, section 1, "May asso.
cato aud proceed to .the choice of bishop
to exercise jurisdiction alike in each of tn.
associated diooeses aud the diu-
| ceses thus associated In the election of a
common bishop. and the conventions thereof
shall in all other respects remain as before
unconnected and independent of eacbIother." +"
| 1t is very desirable that the conventions 10
June next should take some steps in this
matter, and befoie then the standing COM
mittees of these two duceses might meet
and see what can be done to promote the
best interests of the church 10 this PENN.
sula. Vigorous measures a.e imperatively
needed to bring 1t up to its proper status
and to do it's proper work. Let personal
preferences and local interests be laid aside
to promote and secure a larger good. Th,
two dioceses now being without bishops
makes the ground clear for proceeding.
Such circumstance might not occur again
in 500 years. 1t may be said that the set
time has come for new departure. hope
1t has. Yours truly, RECTOR.

A Sensible Appropriation.

The passage of the enactment appropria
ting s4OO year in aid of the fish hatchery
of the City Mill is most sensible piece Of
work.
Those who have been giving their time
@pd attention to fish propagation at the
Braudywiue Station have been doing 80
greatly at the expense of their pockets and
time.
The appropriation of the sum, small as it
is, will be of great advantage to DIR. Short
idge and his assistant, Harry Mcdonnell.
We congratulate the doctor upon this
recognition, small as 1t ia, of the great good
he is doing the State. The money was
soiely needed. Indeed 1t is a question
whether without this help further prosecu,
tion of the fish hatchery undertaking could
be carried on with any expectation of good
results.

Give your daughters thorough education
Teach them to cook and prepare tho food OF
the household. Teach them to wash, to iron,
to darn stockings, to sew on buttons, tc
make their own dresses. Teach them TO make
bread, and that a good kitchen lessons the
ductor's account. Teach them that he only
ays up money whose expenses are less tlau
luis income, ,and that all grow poor who have
to spend more than they receive. Teach
them that calico dress paid for fits better
than silken one unpaid for. Teach them
that full healthy face displays greater lus-
ter than fifty consumptiVe beauties. Teach
Them to purchase, aud to see that the ac-
count corresponds with the purchase. Teach
them good common sense, self-trust and in-
dustry. Teach them that an honest mechan.
ic in his working-dress is a better object Of
esteem than dozen naughty fiuely-dressed
idlers. Teach thsm music, painting, ETC., il

all appearances, and to use oily eyes" ol
"No" in good earnest. Teach them tha
happiness of matrimony depends neither oI

The Position Taken During SIeeI


A very largs number of adults form the
habit Of sleeping In ores srtiauias ssssition,
such as lying upon their right or left side. A
smaller number sleep upon the back. Some
persons sleep with the head greatly extend
ed; more often it is fiexed considerably upon
the trunk. Many must have the head great
ly elevated; others can only sleep with the
head very low. Some observations madeb,
DR.. G. Nusovtcb (Wratsch) upon 235 sold
iers showed that 375 per cent slept upon tn.
right side, 23 per cent on the left, ard e.5
per cent on the back.
1t has yet to be determined whether al,
particular harm can come from sleeping In
certain position which the individual uncon.
soiously assumes. A popular belief exists
to the effect that the liver, being heavy or
gan, tents to prsss upon the other abdomin-
al viscera when person lies on the left side
at any rate, more persons, probably, sleep
on the right side than on the left, as exper-
iepce and Nosovitch's statistics show. The
author in question believes, also, that the
posture in sleep influences the extension of
bronchitis. He found, for example, thai
in the 235 cases referred to, all of whom had
this disorder, in 81 it was left-sided. In 70
| right-sIded, and in 68 on both sides. II,
thinks that the preponderance of the bron.
chitis on the left side was due to the fact
that there was greater expansion of thir
side during sleep, and, consequently a great
or ingress of cold air or of the morbific par
ticles causing the disease.
Some writer's have thought that the posi-
tion in sleeping has an influence upon the
passage of faces through the colon, the DO.
sition on the right side being especially un-
favorable TO emptying the colon. Repose op
the left side, on other hand, favors the gray.
itation of faces from the transverse into the
descending colon, and is therefore to be pre-.
ferred by those suffering from hab,tual con.
stipation q. S. JewelD.
A recent writer has argued strongly foi
the view that the head should be lower than
the feet during sleep, and he claims that
more perfect health and greater longevity
will result from such approximate topsy-tur.
viness. The contrary position, with the
head aud trunk considerably raised, some.
times relieves cramps in the legs. 1t is well
known that some chronic nervous affections,
more particularly nocturnal epilepsy ano
some forms of insomnia, are sometimes bene
fited by sleeping in a partially erect posture
IL appears, therefore, that the posture dur
ing sleep is a matter deserving of some at
tention from physicians, and that some ac
tual therapeutic results may be obtained b,
looking after its details. Il Med. Record

The present Legislature is the ablest and

will forever bear testimony to the integrity

Cleveland Will Exit In 1888.

The Philadelphia Times reluctantly admits
that President Cleveland is now frantically
shouting what can he do--what shall he do
to be saved to tire National Democratic Con-
venton of 1882 ~
President Cleveland studiously ignored
the counsels of the trusted leaders of the
Democratic Party during the first two years
of his administration aud thus drove from
HIM an element which will wreck his aIpira-
tons for denomination.
The Philadelphia Times speaks with au-
thority of an underground political railway
established between the Presidential mansion
aud nest of politicians in New York city

sright the feelings of the bone aud sinew OF
Democracy it will never again be either ca

PRICE TWO CENTS.
The School Elections.

The annual elections for members of the
Board of Education come off in two weeks
from to-day.
There seems to be probability of soms
close rivalry among contestants. This ls all

| villfcaton INDUCED in entirely nnnscessari-
ly. Mr.. B. slandeiipg MIR. A. does not help
| BIS chances in the contest. 1t is puerile
| foolish and very unmauly custom.
Should any candidate be VIGOROUSLY guilty
of personal disqualtications such as inebria-
teness or illitersly, the two more possible
stand in the way OF some OF their would-be
| represe- tatIves ON the Board, the duty rests
upon the voters rigidly to do their duty In
the premises and exert themselves to In every
instance against such candidates.
Voting for members of the School Board
IS something oeptonable-perhsps In a
certain way demanding more careful dis
elimination IL possible than In other cleo.
tions.
The responsibility resting in this direction
cannot be too highly priced. For .he sake
of the children we should have the best men
possible upon the Board. The material of
the membership of the Board of Education
as it stands just now Is not what 1t should
be. There are individuals In 1t who should
not be there.
This statement Is notoriously true. Tbs
citizens of Wilmington should be informed
upon the fsct IL they do not already know
1t.
These statements are made at this mo.
ment when the qualifications of candidates
properly come under public consideration,
they are made In the interests of pub de.
| cency more for that than to make an attack
upon any individual member of the Board of
Education, ,-in the interests of the public

seems to be In the direction of condemna-
tion of the Inter State bill.
However as some of them state at present
it Is little too early too make any definite
decision upon the question. In some direc-
tion loss is made in shipping along the
routes and In other directions the new rar!-
